🏡 Property Particular Templates in Acquaint

Property Particular Templates allow you to create customised brochures, particulars, and property lists using merge fields that dynamically pull in property-specific content such as:

  • Text

  • Images

  • Maps

  • QR Codes

These templates are built using Microsoft Word documents and can be tailored to reflect your agency’s branding and layout preferences.


✨ Producing Property Particulars

To generate particulars for a property:

  1. Locate the Property record

  2. Click Create Particulars

🎨 Designing Your Templates

Templates are created as .DOC or .DOT Word files. You can design them manually or use the Property Particulars Wizard to quickly apply branding elements such as:

  • Text styles

  • Background colours

  • Border colours

There is no limit to the number of templates you can create.


🗂️ Template Configuration Fields

Each template includes the following settings:

  • Description – Name of the template

  • Word File Name – File name of the Word document to use

    • If left blank, Acquaint will auto-generate a file name based on the description

    • You can choose from available base templates or use the Wizard to create branded versions

  • Attach EPC – Optionally append the first page of the property’s EPC to the end of the particulars (UK only)
